She Became Rich After Divorce (Cheyenne and Kelvin) novel Chapter 641

Chapter 641: The President's Illegitimate Daughter

As if knowing what was on their minds, Master Glenn's icy gaze swept across the conference room. With a cold and frosty expression, he began speaking:

"According to the company's strategy, we were supposed to achieve a 5% increase in revenue in the first quarter. However, at the end of the first quarter, you handed me a negative result."

"I know that many of you may think it's just a 1% decrease in revenue, that it's not a big deal. But you are completely wrong. Going from a positive 5% to a negative 1% is a whole six-point difference!"

"This means that we have lost 600 hundred million this quarter, and it also means that each of your year-end bonuses will be at least six figures less than originally planned. Do you still think it doesn't matter?"

As his words fell, the managers and executives seated in the meeting room felt a tinge of pain.

A six-figure difference meant losing hundreds of thousands.

After a long silence, a brave female employee finally gathered the courage to speak up about the reasons behind her poor performance this quarter.

"Master Glenn, we didn't intend for it to turn out this way. Originally, according to our target plan, the investment in 'Moonlit Legend' was supposed to be 300 million, and the revenue needed to be over 500 million. But right after it finished filming, the female lead got caught up in a scandal, causing a decline in reputation."

They all dared not voice their anger.

And the actress in question was none other than Cynthia, the ex-girlfriend of Master Glenn.

To handle this situation, the company had spent a lot of money to build relationships, hiring the strongest PR team in the country, and spending tens of millions in the process.

When 'Moonlit Legend' was finally released, the lead actress's acting was painfully embarrassing, and the audience's criticisms were all over the place.

Although the ratings barely passed, they hadn't even made back the production costs.

It wasn't just 'Moonlit Legend,' Cynthia had filmed three other movies and television dramas one after another.

To only have a 1% decline, it was the result of their overtime and hard work.

Understanding the reasons behind the performance, Master Glenn's expression softened a little. He withdrew his gaze and signaled for his assistant to distribute the latest notices to everyone.

"If the artist isn't doing well, then replace them! Especially those high-paid artists. If they don't have the acting skills and popularity, they should be gone!"

"If the script isn't good enough, then study it carefully and produce an outstanding work."

"We need to spend money smartly. The production costs of TV dramas nowadays are a hundred times higher than in the 90s, yet the quality is nowhere near as good."

"It's because too much money is spent on the actors, with uneven distribution. How can we create good works in such circumstances?"

His words also made the leaders of various departments feel ashamed and helpless.

Next, the assistant placed the latest cost-cutting contract list in front of them, and to their surprise-everyone's hidden worry, Cynthia, the lead actress, was ranked at the top!

She was the highest-paid actress in the company, as well as the most difficult to handle with the awful attitude!

In the past, many producers and directors had complained about how difficult it was to work with Cynthia on set.

But because of her special relationship with the CEO, everyone dared not voice their anger and had to flatter her on the surface.

Now Master Glenn openly intended to terminate the contract with her, which truly caught them off guard.

"Master Glenn, when will your list take effect?"

An excited producer stood up from her seat. She had a good script and had picked out the actors. However, Cynthia heard it and approached her, claiming that she wanted to play the protagonist. Reluctantly, she had to give up the young actress she picked up.
